This very fast-drying universal epoxy primer is "one for all": an exceptionally robust and waterproof 2-component sealer for all boat building materials under and above water.PPG SIGMA PRIME 200 has excellent corrosion protection properties as well as high surface and temperature tolerance. It also adheres to hand-rusted and water-blasted surfaces, as well as to aluminium and hot-dip galvanized surfaces. For good corrosion protection, we recommend applying at least 4-5 coats by roller.Can be painted over with all maritime 1- and 2-component primers, paints and varnishes. An adhesion promoter (tiecoat) is required before painting with antifouling. SIGMA VIKOTE 18 is used for repairs and smaller ships. SIGMA COVER 555 (only available on request in 20 liter containers) is recommended for large-area coatings.Tip: VIKOTE 18 can be painted directly onto SIGMAPRIME 200 without sanding if the surface is not yet fully cured, i.e. "tacky". Otherwise, intermediate sanding is necessary.Technical dataSubstrates: Steel, galvanized steel, store primer, coated metalsPre-treatment:Steel: blasting according to ISO-Sa2½ or machine cleaning (SPSS-Pt3), blasting profile 30-75 µmStore primer: leave intact or blast clean if damagedGalvanized steel: degrease, roughen with sandpaper or sweep blastingOld coatings: High-pressure cleaning, dry, clean, free of dust and greaseFollow-up coat: 2-component epoxy resins and polyurethanes (e.g. SIGMACOVER, SIGMADUR)Coverage: approx. 7.6 m²/l at 75 µm,Dilution: THINNER 91-92 (brush/roller: up to 5 %, spraying: 0-15 %)Application method: Brush, roller, airless or air sprayingMixing ratio: 4:1 (base:hardener by volume)Pot life: 7 hours at 20 °CDrying times at 20 °C: Dust-dry after 1.5 hours, touch-dry after 4 hours, fully hardened after 7 daysFurther processing information can be found in the technical data sheet under "Downloads".
Pure stand oil. When adding 2 % maximum it can prolong the initial drying period and the process time of all half syntectic single component boat varnishes and coloured lacquer.
EPIFANES EASY FLOW penetrating oil is a multi-purpose additive made of natural oils to improve the impregnating ability of one-component primers or undercoats.This product can be added to all conventional and semi-synthetic paints, even under difficult conditions, a favorable result is achieved. By adding 5-10% to the paint, visible brush strokes are avoided, thus creating a closed and smooth surface. Can also be used as an impregnating oil for wood and as a preservative oil for rusted steel surfaces freed from loose rust.This product can be reworked with conventional paints.
A high quality thinner for brushing or rolling most one-component primers, paints and varnishes. High solving power providing easy thinning. The double destillation of this thinner provides maximum purity.
A slow evaporating thinner for brushing and rolling EPIFANES POLY-URETHANE Yacht coatings. Also suited as slow evaporating thinner for EPIFANES PP Varnish Extra.
Thinner for all Epifanes epoxybased products, like EPIFANES EPOXY PRIMER or EPIFANES INTERIMCOAT. Also suited for soften existing epoxy to allow better bonding for fresh layers.
Epifanes Polyester Degreaser for cleaning all plastic surfaces. Removes wax and oily components on polyester and is therefore recommended for cleaning before the application of paint systems. During application, make sure that the cloth is always clean and, if necessary, turn or change it more often so that the dirt is really removed from the surface.
Solvent-based prep cleaner to clean and degrease raw steel and wood surfaces before painting.Not suitable for GRP surfaces. We recommend EPIFANES Polyester Degreaser for this.
When applied in the interior, EPIFANES hardener can admixed to all half syntectic single component boat varnishes and coloured lacquer.By adding 5 - 7 % max. the curing time is shortened substantially, without the lacquers loosing their significant qualities.By adding of up to 50 % the lacquers are becoming much harder and abrasion-resistant, but loose their elasticity.
DILUNETT removes up to eight layers of one-component antifoulings or paints even from pores. Solvent-free, without aromatic solvents and CFC, based on a sodium hydroxide solution. By having an inbuilt colour indicator (changing from beige to brown), it signals, whether the paint layers can be scraped. Because of its water solubility DILUNETT does not dry out quickly and thereby stays active longer. Its paste-like stiffness allows for employing it also on vertical surfaces.Yield depending on type of colour: 250-2000 ml/m².
Thinner for YACHTCARE ANTIFOULING ECO, also usable for cleaning tools and brushes. It should only be used when the YACHTCARE ANTIFOULING ECO is too viscous, for instance at low temperatures.
Thinner for YACHTCARE Epoxy primer, also usable for cleaning tools and brushes. It should only be used when the YACHTCARE Epoxy primer is too viscous, for instance at low temperatures.
Coating thinner for YACHTCARE antifouling primer, also usable for cleaning tools and brushes.It should only be used when the YACHTCARE antifouling primer is too viscous, for instance at low temperatures.
